À propos de cet audio
When a simple mix-up leaves their father Joe’s estate to Eden, their long-absent mother, Clare and Aaron decide it’s finally time to track Eden down. But it’s been over thirty years since she left their remote outback mining town, and they’ve never heard from her again.
Aaron is dealing with a new marriage that’s currently trapped in immigration limbo, and his teenage daughter Cady is clearly going through a personal crisis of her own. After decades away, Clare has flown home from New York for Joe’s funeral, leaving her high-powered job and her not-quite-fiancé behind for what she thinks will be a short trip.
Neither Aaron or Clare are prepared for a fight for their inheritance against the mother who abandoned them as children. As they dig through years of secrets and lies in their tiny community to uncover the truth about Eden and Joe, will they notice the more immediate danger that threatens their family?

Quality Psychological Exposé
Caroline Overington overdoes it a little bit in this story following a family with diverse struggles with relationships/marriage/parenting/mental health during the settling of an estate and a search for a long-missing wife + mother.
Each of the challenges among the characters is handled well, but Overington just keeps adding more & more - giving the impression that she's merely padding the plot with little goal other than making it a "complex extended family narrative". I enjoyed the book but felt manipulated. The relatively mundane made sensational.
As to presentation: readers Ella Scott Lynch, Hazem Shammas, and Zindzi Oyenko are nearly flawless - with the exception of whoever reads the part of 'Clare Walkerstone': that narrator tends to voluble deep breaths that Audible Studios Inc. (Australia) sound engineers struggle to soften and doesn't even attempt to Americanize the woman's accent. After factoring in great voice modulation (over-the-telephone dialogue - including poor connections when called for), this is an above-average listening product.
In toto, 'Looking For Eden' rates 6.5 stars out of 10. If you can get it off of the 'Plus' menu, do so. It was a more than serviceable distraction for a couple of quiet afternoons. Should it leave the "included with your subscription" catalog, consider carefully.. better options beckon for your Credit.
